Adjectives and Sentence begins with a verb

[Pavanhotscan]

Hi ,
I am writing two context below this line

(Adjective)
Can I use an adjective (Innovative) for the following nouns

Innovative subjects.

Innovative methods.

Innovative solution.

Innovative steps.

Innovative guidance.

"Sentence begins with a verb"

And also I have a doubt can a sentence begins with a verb?.

For example

"Assume that if you buy an article costs of 500rs and you give 595 rs to the shop keeper , can you tell me how much amount will you get return ?

Regards

Only 'Innovative guidance' sounds a little farfetched to me but still possible, IMO. "Assume that..." = Let's assume that... or Please try to assume that..., I think. So it's possible too.
